Student Ministry

Our youth group is weird. To be WEIRD in its most original definition means to be CONNECTED ... and we are WeIRd.

Inviting All Youth

If you hang out with the youth at FUMCR, you will definitely get a weird vibe. . . . From the crazy games to the strange and interesting topics we discuss, you would notice that this is not an ordinary YoUTh gRoUP!

But that's not the only thing weird about us. Originally the word weird was an old Viking Term used to describe how every person and action is connected — how every choice we make, everything we do has an effect on the people and things around us. . . . We are strange, we are odd, we are fun to be around, and most importantly, we are connected to one another by the Love of God.

Summer Special Activities

Sunday School

9:45 -10:45 am, Bartula Family Life Center

Every Sunday morning, 7th - 12th grade youth gather together to worship and learn about our Christian heritage and the amazing stories that make up our biblical canon. Sunday school plays a vital role in helping to build a solid foundation for the faith journey of our youth.

We gather first as a large group in our worship space, then divide into grade level classes. During the summer, junior high (rising 7th and 8th graders) will meet in room 1D/E, and senior high (rising 9th - graded seniors) will meet in the worship space.

Youth gather at FUMCR for fellowship, worship, and to participate in open and honest discussions about teenage life, pressures, and culture. Our youth group is a place where youth can come, just as they are, and discover together how awesome our God is!

CYM

Council on Youth Minsitry

The Council on Youth Ministry (CYM) is the youth leadership core at First UMC Richardson. Representatives from each grade are needed each year to serve as the sounding board for the youth group providing feedback and new ideas to the youth staff and adults. CYM members are key leaders in their Sunday school classes, during UMYF, and on trips.

Meetings are from 12 - 1 pm, monthly during the school year.

To participate in CYM, students must attend the first meeting, as well as commit to missing no more than one meeting for the year and serving as a leader in the youth group.

FUMCR Student Ministry partners with parents to come along side in helping with the spiritual development of students during their teenage years. We are here to assist you in navigating through these years with all of the confusion, frustration, and questions that come along with it.

Fellowship and Fun

We believe that faith encompasses all aspects of our lives, including our play time and fellowship time. Because of that, our youth ministry makes sure to provide plenty of activities for our youth that include good ole' fashioned fun! Some of the things we do include: Ice Cream Socials, Broomball, Laser-tag, Lock-ins, Whirlyball, Pool Parties, Ski Trips and much, much more. . . .

Missions

Whether it is feeding the homeless, visiting our church’s shut-ins or going on mission trips to New Mexico, Galveston, Appalachia or some other location, there are countless opportunities throughout the year, for our youth to learn what it means to be “Servants in Christ.”
